Oh look, he's not only misquoting what was SUPPOSEDLY "carved" (with a blue sharpie) onto bullet casings at the ICE facility shooting, he's mixing up two completely different shootings.
To be fair, there are so many mass shootings it's hard to keep track.

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

We've gotten to the point that we are hurting our religious leaders for praying, and zip tying children for existing.

Also, macing a frog for dancing.

It's not going to get better from here before it gets better, but I believe it will eventually get better.

Somehow.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
